How to create calendar appointments using Microsoft Graph API?

Question

Hello,

We are using a time management system (SAP Successfactors) which is currently integrated with our Exchange on-prem environment and is creating time off calendar appointments in users calendars when a new time off event is registered in the time management system, but now we are switching to Exchange Online and we figured our that basic authentication is deprecated so we need to use Microsoft Graph API in order to integrate this feature with Exchange Online.

The thing is that we can't find anywhere a guide or a similar case on how we should configure our application for integration with Azure and Graph respectively. We found these guides:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/calendar-post-events?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=java

https://community.sap.com/t5/human-capital-management-blogs-by-sap/interview-scheduling-outlook-oauth-integration/ba-p/13492372

which clarify a little bit the needed solutions, but then again the URLs which the app should use are unknown. Do you have any idea how should we do that?
